This is the gate at the entrance of the garden. (my daughter's mother-in-law, and my sister)
As you can see, it was the perfect fall day and our trees are at their peak showing their gorgeous fall colors.
Me and my sister beside a unique sculpture.
The sculptures are on display for two months in the fall.
This is the new education building (on the right) built in October 2009.
Here is another beautiful sculptured gate that we passed when we left the gardens.
We had lunch at the Southern Season Restaurant "The Weathervane" in Chapel Hill and we ate outside on the patio. The weather was perfect and the food delicious!
Savoring these last few wonderful days of fall.
I've been having so much fun lately that I've been a bad blogger. I'll be around to visit and catch up soon. I have photos of the pottery festival and will show you those later this week.
Enjoy your day!

What a spectacular day! It all sounds wonderful...visiting gardens with the plus of seeing art how good can that be. I love the gates...incidently you did an excellent job with the photography, I find it very hard to get a good picture of gates.(-:
What a wonderful way to spend time with your family....it looks like a beautiful place.

Hi Donna,
Oh my goodness - what a spectacular garden. The fall colors add even more beauty.
Thank you for sharing.
Have a lovely day.
Blessings,

It looks like so much fun, Donna. I am so glad you shared this.
The Weathervane is one of our favorite places for a weekend breakfast. And, shopping at A Southern Season is always fun. It is a must place for Christmas shopping.
You are so cute Donna! Your botanical garden is lovely!
